Stayed in a separate cottage which had nice views and plenty of room. Double head shower and spa bath. Large fridge and microwave. Daniel a great host, even doing some of our washing. A nice option for a stay whilst you view this part of New Zealand.

Comfortable and unique place to stay

Pros: Situation, out of town in beautiful scenic spot.
Location: Magnificent views over Lake Taupo, great spot for adventure touring, with Taupo a short drive away.
Lovely residence set in an ideal spot, very comfortable accommodation. Around 5km from town centre which for us was a bonus. Daniel very pleasant and helpful.

Pros: Location and the place was really warm and comfy
Cons: Way over priced for what it is. If the big Spa was private (as was alluded to) it would make it so much better
Location: Close to everything, Good views
Facilities: Modern, Above average; Value: Uneconomical, Over-priced; Service: Professional, Friendly, Courteous; Cleanliness: Faultless; Make sure you don't stay here for the big Spa, it's not private.

Feedback is most appreciated. We are very conscious of our pricing, and have not raised our prices in 8 years, despite facing dramatically increased costs. Also of note is that of our more than 70 reviews on a major travel portal, we have not had feedback that indicates our pricing is out of line. We are well suited to those who are looking for something a bit more interactive than a hotel experience - for example we love to share happy hour conversations with guests over complimentary drinks.
